Griffin (Asst. Lighting Design) ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: Ryan Taylor DRAMATURGY: Rachel Miller STAGE MANAGED BY: Megan Reichelt, Cecelia Cackily(Asst SM)Caliban has escaped from Prospero's island after being imprisoned for 500 years. On the run from his sadistic and powerful master, he finds himself in modern-day New York where he joins forces with a dramaturg with magical powers and a love-struck lifeguard who might be the child warrior fated to save the world. Taking his cues from many of today’s most popular comic and graphic novel writers like Neil Gaiman (SANDMAN), Bill Willingham (FABLE) and Warren Ellis (PLANETARY), Aguirre-Sacasa, a writer for Marvel Comics and one of America's hottest young playwrights, melds a very real New York with Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST, creating a modern tale of thrills, chills and drag queen furies. And the first read is this Sunday evening. So once again the wheels will be turning on another Rorschach Theatre production of a show you will see nowhere else.Until then I will be running pictures of various animals dressed as Santa. Today a Moose.
